Recently I got a new mobile phone, on T Mobile (Contract) when I bought the phone (approx 2 months ago) I took it home plugged it in and turned it on like you do.
IMMEDIATLY the phone sent a message, thought nothing of it, maybe a service message registaring the phone.
However upon receiving my second statement, I see I have 1 text outside my text bundle that I have been charged 17p for?
17p you might say, but I dont like things happening like that, so I decided to ring T Mobile (who I must say have very good customer service) and asked what this text was about, the guy at T Mobile was as baffeled as I was, refunded the 17p, and looked to investigate.
Now the Text turns out to be a international text, sent to sweden.
The conspiory theriest (SP) in me came up with a possible mad reason.
If T Mobile had 17p for every international text that has been sent unknowingly from new customers (And who normally would bother about 17p) multiply that by 10.000+ and it starts to become a nice little earner.
Anyone else here with T mobile and had a strange text sent from there phone.
